If you look over to your right you’ll see a fancy IM status indicator, the glorious result of DAYS spent coding in C, C++, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, and a bit of COBOL. Or maybe just one line of HTML and a few GIFs; I’ll never tell.

Feel free to say “Hi!” whenever you see me online.

Oh, and I highly recommend Pidgin for your IM client. You can use one simple program to communicate via AIM, ICQ, IRC, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, smoke signal, carrier pigeon, or telepathy. And all without the annoying ads, pop-ups and scrolling tickers you get with the “official” IM clients!
